I want Vanyel to go with Krebain and spend the next fifteen years as his perverse mind-fucked sex slave, and then the Heralds finally rescue him and he spends five years or whatever still fucked-up and traumatized and wasting away.
With a focus on broken Vanyel being super powerful, and the Heralds not wanting to but needing to use him as a weapon in the war against Karse. And nothing about it being okay. Vanyel hates it, Yfandes hates doing it to him, and he backslides every time he gets used as a war-puppet.
If they have to restrain him because he tries to wander away if they don't, A-fucking-plus.
I'm cool with a story about the people who are trying to help Vanyel even as they use him (Savil, Tantras, Randale, Yfandes, Vanyel's parents if you'd like, Lissa, whoever), or also a slice of life thing about Vanyel being really broken inside and trying so hard to be good for everyone, and never succeeding enough to make them happy.
(Your call on what "Broken!Vanyel means. You want him mute, blind, deaf, crippled, so withdrawn that he's basically catatonic, sexually promiscuous, incapable of making decisions or taking action, in chronic pain, having absence seizures, constantly shaking or whatever, I am going to like that. I mean, all at once is a little extreme, but I know I'd be lunging out of my chair for a spoon to eat that up with, so hey, do it if you want! But those are only suggestions, and I'm probably fine with anything you come up with. :P )
